What would be the best mount for this scope? The EQ5 that North group sells is not the HEQ5, right? I'm a little confused about these mounts. Are they made by Skywatcher, or HiOptic? Anyone know?

Skywatcher has an EQ5, EQ6, EQ5 Pro Syntek and EQ6 Pro Syntek. There is a new one, an NEQ6.

Is there another vendor in China that sells these mounts?
yes, if you go for the manual focus one. remember to order the locking mechinism which is extra. HEQ5PRo or the EQ6pro, or a losmandy G11 or overkill with a titan, or G8 for that matter, probably a temma mount as well, paramount ME, probably even get away with a meade LX75 mount, and the celestron version? as for the makers - go to their respective web sites
